Summary

Applicant Dennis Labrie requested a variance to construct a 6'6" x 23' deck to access isolation rooms for sick pets at 3 Cobbetts Road, expanding into the WWPD; commissioners asked for information on deck materials and runoff mitigation and requested a presentation.

Dennis Labrie presented a variance request for 3 Cobbetts Road to construct a 6'6" deep by 23-foot-wide deck that would expand into the WWPD buffer to serve access and egress for two isolation rooms for sick pets. The commission noted this represents an expansion of a non-conforming use previously approved at the site.

Vice Chair Michael Specian asked whether the deck would be pressure-treated wood or trex; he favored trex to reduce chemical runoff. Commissioners asked about filtration options under the deck and requested a formal presentation with construction materials, runoff mitigation plans, and details on how the expansion alters the non-conforming footprint. No vote was taken; the commission asked the applicant to return with a material and mitigation plan.
